Ouruniversity partnered with RBTV for one weekend workshop experience. The program wasintended to be an in-person event but due to the COVID-19 pandemic, this program wasconducted synchronously through Zoom virtual meetings. Our university is well known for“hands-on” learning, and we decided to keep the experience hands-on even if it had to be virtual.Students participated in STEM-related hands-on projects, connecting them to real lifeapplications and boosting students' interests in different STEM disciplines.

To situate this this lesson in ameaningful and engaging context, we explore both casual, collaborative games as well as seriousgames, or games with a purpose.

A set of nineteenstudent analysis reports selected from a capstone design course were used as the source of thedata. The reports were assessed both before and after a tutoring session using a version of theAAC&U VALUE rubric and a voice-development-style-diction method developed by theauthors. By both methods, the improvements in student writing from before the tutoring sessionto afterwards were marginal at best, with some measures even showing a decrease inperformance. The sole exception was that a significant increase in hedging, boosting, andattitude words appeared in the students

Engineering ethics is most frequently taught as (1) individual philosophy courses, (2)brief discussions in connection with well-known cases of engineering failure, or (3) moduleswhich extend across multiple class sessions (e.g., capstone design) [5-6].

Lackof student preparation in all dimensions needed to succeed in the engineering environment–a“misalignment” between engineering education and practice has long been noted, and manyengineering graduates still endure a challenging transition to the workforce [1], [2]. To addressthis need, engineering educators have incorporated project-based learning in the curriculum [3],[4], [5], including capstones [6] and design projects [7].

Students will arrive at a professor’s office to find thatprofessor missing or busy for an unknown reason and an unknown amount of time. Our designwill allow for a professor to display their whereabouts, thus alleviating the issue. The display mustbe readable and fit within the constraining area of their office window. Other portions of productdesign such as charge frequency and energy requirements were also factored into the decisionmatrix.Competitors to this product include what is currently being used by our clients: sticky notes,whiteboards, and papers to convey messages about the professor’s whereabouts

senior design capstones were also significantly affected by the pandemic as virtualcommunication, reduced technology access, and social distancing became part of the equation.Goldberg (2020) explained in his senior design course that, “if the lack of prototyping resourcesprevents completion and delivery of the final prototype, we may need to be flexible and modifythe scope of individual projects and course deliverables”[5].

Some professional skills thatare acquired through these ABET accredited courses are: the abilities to design a technology-based product orservice, to address a real-world problem, and to communicate effectively. The forced transition to online educationdue to the COVID-19 pandemic exacerbated the fact that higher education students need more self-regulatedlearning (SRL) skills to engage in effective time management, prioritize their tasks, watch lectures, and completeassignments. Most literature concerning self-regulated learning has not acknowledged the underpinnings of howdesign pedagogy and the studio culture can play significant roles in achieving these important skills in engineeringdesign.
